Re: [Matplotlib-users] Problem with contains() on an arrow

[Daniel H. <dh...@gm...>]

Hmm, I just found out that if I change path.Path.contains_point to use
"point_on_path" instead of "point_in_path", the containment tests work
properly.  I'm not that familiar with the path code...is the difference
that one is testing for polygonal insideness, and one is testing for
literally being on the "stroke"?  If so, do we have to make sure that the
proper one is called if there are no polygons involved in the path?
